we continue to battle multiple major brush fires in the city of los angeles and across the los angeles region. today we expect winds to subside somewhat which will allow fire crews to increase containment lines. however, i want to be very clear here as well, we're still under red flag warning with -- [audio issues] >> harris: they're having some audio difficulties there. apparently a lost mic somewhere and so you are getting that ambient tone from the woman speaking now. you just heard from l.a. county fire chief and city fire chief crowley now is speaking and as soon as they get that microphone situation figured out on their end we'll go right back. a couple of things that have popped in the last little while that really matter in all of this, that red flag warning for los angeles and ventura counties will continue through tomorrow, through friday. we learned that from the fire chief maroney of l.a. county. that is something that people still need to heed. let's go back live to the fire chief of the city now kristin crowley. >> to challenge firefighting efforts for the palisades area.

everyone in los angeles understands. and the challenge is trying to make it understood beyond the people who live through there it. >> that's why i think people like you and katy and jacob who have direct ties to the state, it's so critical to hear even just the ten or of your voice you talk about it, it's hugely impactful and really important for all of us as we go through this experience and, hopefully, help each other through it in whatever way we can. >> yeah. the last thing i deserve is anyone's sympathy about what's going to happen to my house. i get to watch this from the comfort of my second home, okay? so there is no real danger for me. someone in my house, a family in one of my houses the other day, grabbed a few things i could think of that would be nice to have. but people are losing every single thing. people weren't home. there were people who were working out of town, whose houses burned down and no one walked through the door to grab anything. and every single thing in those homes is lost and lost forever
